Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is the nerve cell or the option C "neuron." A neuron is responsible for many things relating to the human nervous system which includes sending messages to our muscles, (assisting with body movements) communicates with the other cells and tells them when the body is feeling pain and is responsible to receive and send information throughout the body. A good example of a neuron function in touching something that is hot or something that burns your body. The neurons are the cells that receive the information and send the message to the brain telling it that the heat is burning the body or that it's hot which makes you aware of the pain almost instantly.

Hope this helps.
